Hello there, and thanks for the great module!
I've been looking for something like this for a while now. But it's still not exactly what I need.
I first thought that the bottom form was displayed in case there was too many fields, and that it applied to all nodes. Indeed, this is my feature request:
A single edit form for all the nodes referenced by the view
I need to batch edit my image nodes which have a each lot of redundant fields, but displaying all the forms lead to "slow script error" messages. Hidding them for a single form would save room and.. so much time!
That would lead a viewtype called something like: "editablefields: table/list - single form"
Is this realistic? Maybe the activeselect.module could provide some helping function (but the idea is to avoid calling every single node's edit form).
Thanks in advance.

I have a new version of this module - or a sister module if you like - which does AJAX editing in place - maybe that's what you would like
One problem - time - I haven't got round to releasing it yet :-(
I'll try and get it out soon
#2
Hello Mark, thanks for the quick answer.
I've tried Ajaxeditable but I couldn't find out what it brought to the EF module. Or I didn't look at the right place... but then, where to look?
Anyways, I'm glad you've been on this sister module. Do you think it will be able to give a unique form for many nodes? This would be just great! Will we need to use code or only UI?
If ever you can, could you tell us when about you'll be able to jump on its release? We'll be glad to test it!
Best regards,
Arsène

Doh
That is the module I meant
My brain is in a timewarp
documentation may be - errr - lacking?
Did you manage to get ajaxeditable to work at all?
#4
No, but sorry, this is may be my misunderstanding. Indeed, I haven't tried the (con)template option. I thought both modules enabled would work straight away.
#5
i have tried contemplate and am not able to get it working..
This could be a very simple question:
1. in the description it says that it is editable on a node, how can I make that happen? I could have totally misunderstood the use case for this module. Is it only for views?
2. using ajaxeditable:
if my field is
$node->field_more_about_me[0]['view']
how do I write it so that it is editable? I tried to use the code from the ajaxeditable page, but I am just not sure what I am doing wrong?
all i get is the line of text greyed out
3. permissions
can anyone edit the field if it is editable and ajaxeditable enabled?
#6
I'd also like the answer to #2 above - I can't figure out how to put an editable field on the node view. In my case, my field is $node->field_completed[0]['value'] and printing it returns nothing. It is a single checkbox if it helps any.
Love the module BTW. Very handy!
